IPOB has won our hearts...

A former Senior Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, on Public Affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, has said the cancellation by the Indigenous People of Biafra, of its planned one-week sit-at-home in the South-East, had proved the group was not a terrorist organisation.

According to the former Presidential Aide, the decision of IPOB to cancel the one-week sit-at-home was indicative of the fact that it believed in the principle of justice, equity and self-determination, for its people.

Okupe stated this in a statement he personally signed, a copy of which was made available to The PUNCH, on Friday.

According to Okupe, in the statement, “It was heartwarming to learn that IPOB cancelled the Sit-At-Home order.

“This decision of IPOB is a very reasonable one coming from an organisation, whose major concern is justice, equity and self-determination for its people.

“By this singular act of compassionate and progressive civility in furtherance of our democracy, IPOB, to my mind, has proved unequivocally that it is not a terrorist organisation, rather it is one that can be called to a round table to reason with.


“It was in my own realisation of this fact that I made a call a few days ago that in the interest of peace in the South-East region, it is now time for the Federal Government, to open a window of opportunity for peaceful negotiation with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB.

“I wish to appeal to all peace-loving Nigerians to add their voices to persuade our government to show magnanimity and make this all-important move now! Peace talks and sincere negotiations can resolve in weeks, what violence, war and its attendant bloodshed may not achieve in several years.

“May God help and guide our leaders to lead us alright,

Were they Terrorist organization before??


Who is Buhari sef?

They have never been a terrorist organisation before. Their points and demands were clear enough that even foreign powers understood their plight.

Even Buhari-the-incompetent admires iPOB in his closet.

This is something every reasonable and rational thinker is aware of ,but paid propagandist and pathological lies believe otherwise.

Ipob leadership have shown to be wise people.



They scattered all the evil plans and atrocities Nigeria Government have planned to commit today just to paint IPOB black in the eyes of international community.




If not,Ipob would have taken the blame over the snatching of ballot Boxes in Aguata .

.true

Buhari might have some IPOB shirts he wears to cover the number of bones on his chest

Click like, if you believe that IPOB have the best advisors

I never see where one asking for freedom or to be treated farelly turns him to a terrorist only in nigeria.

People know the truth, and the truth will set them free immediately they craw out of their shells and support justice and equity.

Negotiating with IPOB this time is the right thing to do.

Hezbollah of Palestine, that your brothers in Israel’s is showing your true colors, demonic hypocrites cursed by JAH, thieves of another persons history, Oyibo Propaganda to fool the world.

You are living in your own world, Sorry for you, I bet, you have never left the East, or ever been to Abuja or Lagos State? Negotiate with what?

Many Hausas and Yorubas admire their sagacity.

They can't just come out to say it.
IPOB is the biggest thing to happen to Nigeria since independence.

Sure & he captured & is holding your supreme leader like a covid infected chimpanzee from a Nairobi Zoo in isolation?

Operation Ignore Zombies

Very thoughtful of you Doyin Okupe, but unfortunately, the fulani controlled God forsaken contraption called niger area won't see it that way; infact their zombie escort have already started making mockery of their education by laughing at Ipob for the election turn out, for a sit at home that has been suspended.







But what do I even know

Okupe is the latest mumu button presser.

FFK's leaving created a vacancy.

Do they have a registered address in Nigeria? How does one get in contact with an organization that doesn’t exist? What of email address?

What an organization, please name 5 of their key members that make the decisions, the ones you want Government to negotiate with on your behalf?

Very funny.

Doyin Okupe is IPob according to the bastard , terrorist APC useless supporters on Nairaland

PrinceOfLagos:
Doyin Okupe is IPob according to the bastard , terrorist APC useless supporters on Nairaland

Is he not the same Mumu that said in December 2013 that if APC as a party last for than 1 year we should call him a bastard? APC is the party in power today, Millions of us don’t take Doyin Okupe seriously.

I don’t blame the idiot, I blame the Useless Nigerian press that have no news to bring than these junk sentimental reporting. This crap is no news, tomorrow they will blame President Buhari for their incompetence to be objective in bringing hardnews? I’d rather watch CGTN News from morning to night like Mazi is doing in DSS custody.

Abegi! Security come na im them japa.

IPOB was never a terrorist group

Sitting at home doesn't make one a terrorist. Okupe must be a bastard.

Government makes the laws, in Nigeria it is a terrorist organization conclusive, even Jesus Christ warned Respect Your Government, one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist, Hezbollah is a terrorist group to the United States, but a friend to The United State’s close allies Saudi Arabia.

Are you seeing the Nexus between PDP and ipob terrorists? How they wash each others hands? Cownu formed ipob the moment PDP lost power at the centre. Abaribe PDP senators bailed cownu and sponsored ipob terrorists.

Henry Okah of MEND is in prison in South Africa on recommendation from Goodluck Jonathan, never heard any agitation for Biafra in the Pdp years, 1999-2015? All the noise started after their so called enemy General President Buhari won the election in 2015, their 5% is inconsequential.

On 14 July 2015, it was reported in the media that the radio station Biafra Radio had been jammed because it did not have a broadcast licence from the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission.However, the radio station in a swift reaction labelled such claims as "lies" and went on to release its new frequency details to the public.

IPOB is a terrorist group. Okupe is another idiot.

I can't stand fools who live outside Igboland exonerate IPOB.
They stopped students from taking their exams. They destroyed shops of traders. They destroyed goods of traders. They killed Dora Akunyili's husband. They keep attacking policemen and army.


Anyone that says IPOB is not a terrorist group doesn't have a brain.
There is overwhelming evidence all over the cyberspace. Nnamdi Kanu even directed attacks on policeman and army via radio Biafra.

Cancelling sit-at-home today was done because of the presence of large number of policemen/army. IPOB doesn't have the resources to attack all polling units.

Once the election is over and policemen/army go back to their original place of assignment. IPOBTALIBAN will resume their terrorism.

He is playing politics, your enemy APC is my enemy, so let us be friends not as if I really give a hoot about you.
